OnePlus Nord 5 series, the next generation of OnePlus Nord, is set to come on 8 July, 2025. Two phones are to start: OnePlus Nord 5 and OnePlus Nord CE5. Since the launch of the first OnePlus Nord in 2020, the series has generated significant buzz for strong performance at premium features and competitive prices. With everything shared before the launch, OnePlus, it seems that it is only doubled on the upgrade, what is coming next.
Shortly before the big disclosure is still there, but we got our hands in advance at the new OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE5 and while the full review of both the equipment – some more time will take, we thought, meanwhile how to look at a quick quiet? With the first look, this piece is somewhat ready that you can expect from OnePlus on D-Day. Spoiler Alert: There is a lot for Unbox.
If we talk briefly about Nord 5 and Nord CE 5, it would be a suitable way to insert it, they all look good, good, and look better.

This time, OnePlus has moved to a similar design language in both models, which means that both Nord 5 and Nord CE5 look almost identical, at least the belief that you see them for the first time. The difference, if any, are modest and you need to search for them selectively. Visual stability is good.
The OnePlus has gone away from the wide glass and metal finish used on the previous Nord generations, instead it has been chosen for a more similar new matte look. Nord 4 used metal in abundance. This is not the case with Nord 5. But despite the switch – for polycarbonate – the phone looks solid and premium. The choice of colors has also received an update.
OnePlus Nord 5 Series: Design and Building
OnePlus has done a lot of experimentation with the design of its Nord series over the years. Nord 3 came in both bright and matte finish, while last year’s Nord 4 used metal in abundance. We were overall the generations. Now, with the Nord 5 series, the company has once again changed things. This time, it has gone to a matte finish with marble -like texture on Nord 5.
We are reviewing the white version, and it looks stunning. The back has a beautiful white shade that finishes like a soft marble that reflects the light subtle. There is also a shimmering, pearl -like glow, which combines an additional aesthetic touch that pleases the eyes. The OnePlus people also have a modest holographic glow in overall elegance. OnePlus has also revised the camera layout. They are now vertically arranged in both phones. Around the front, the display has a punch-hole cut-out for the selfie camera.
While Nord 5 finishes like a marble with a sign of rainbow brightness, its more affordable siblings scorch a pop of color on the CE5-table. We have got a blue color variant, and the back panel has a uniform vibrant tone. It also has a matte finish similar to Nord 5, which offers a smooth and premium in-hand feel.

Back, the camera layout is once again aligned vertically, like Nord 5. Camera housing and frames have a micro -metal sheen that complements the overall form with a sophisticated range.
Only Nord 5 has a new OnePlus key. Nord CE is not 5.
Overall, the design of both Nord 5 and Nord CE5 is a premium with a touch of elegance that we have not seen on a Nord series earlier. Both phones are going to hold eyes. Both phones are also quite light and sit comfortably in hand without feeling heavy. He said, they can be slightly slippery.
What is inside the box, both devices come with a silicone phone cover, charger, SIM Ejector Tool and Warranty Card.
Meanwhile, there is a close eye on the upcoming OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE5.
